I hope this is still early in development. You can’t have a game set exclusively in a city where buildings look like that.
- Comment on Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine? 1 week ago:
Then why didn’t they respect the two Minsk agreements?

NATO has been encircling Russia for decades. You just want to justify it as “people choosing democracy” when the fall of USAID and NED just shows that they were regime change operations orchestrated by the US. If peace was the point, the Minsk agreements would have been respected. If saving lives was the point, the UK wouldn’t have told Zelensky to fight a war they couldn’t win. Nothing about this conflict has been about ukrainian interests. It always was and still is about russian and american interests. You want to argue that what Russia is doing is imperialism, but it is the US that wishes to balkanize the country, and THAT is actual imperialism. But of course that wouldn’t bother you.

The Euromaidan was a coup orchestrated by the west, it’snot a matter of opinion, you just think it was a good thing.

They weren’t independent since 2014

Are you arguing that doing everything the US wants, to the point of signing away 50% of every cent made from your natural resources, some sort of freedom? The fact of the matter is that neutrality suited the people of Ukraine very well, but not NATO.

I’m not?

They weren’t independent before and will not be after the war. Just the master will change, maybe.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 1 week ago:
The average non-tech person only has a phone. And maybe a shared family notebook if at any point someone needed a computer for things that you can’t do on the phone (like filing taxes and such).
- Comment on Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating 2 weeks ago:
If they have the gun and you don’t, what’s the alternative?
- Comment on Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating 2 weeks ago:
There’s nothing that can be done, Russia is winning on the battlefield. At this point negotiating suits Ukraine, not the other way around.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 1 month ago:
Guild Wars 2
- Comment on McDonald's Australia and Netflix launch Squid Game Meal 2 months ago:
They made an actual reality show competition with prizing based on squid game. It’s all just aesthetics to these people.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 3 months ago:
For a new player sword and shield is the easy mode. Magic tends to make you squishy, and if you aren’t great at not dying getting your souls to the spell merchants is rough (if even know how to do their quests)
- Comment on Ads 3 months ago:
Most creators have patreons. The big ones take sponsorships also. The pittance they get from any ads I may have watched do not matter.
- Comment on Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change? 4 months ago:
Yes, not only many people still play the same games for 10 years, but also spend most of their gaming time in them. There’s a reason why a new live service game is both a gold mine and also incredibly difficult to stick.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 5 months ago:
Many subs did that, so reddit substituted the mods for others that do as they are told.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 5 months ago:
For every streamer that makes minimum wage there are dozens that make so little they don’t even get paid.
- Comment on Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations. 5 months ago:
That was AFTER the backlash increased after he doubled down.
- Comment on It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation 6 months ago:
Valve doesn’t want to make a buy to play game unless it’s something that pushes the medium forward somehow, which is the only reason Alyx was made. A PvP moba can be a source of continued revenue like all the other games they still support (and one they don’t).
- Comment on Launch dates for upcoming Xbox games 6 months ago:
Do we even know anything about the game other than the fact it’s getting made?
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 6 months ago:
Your examples are of bird’s eye view games, not third person.
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 6 months ago:
How so? Most social media shows who liked stuff, it does make sense to consider it for lemmy.
- Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be 6 months ago:
Whenever I get to a webpage that looks a decade old (like most recently Ventoy) I get hit with a wave of nostalgia. Yeah, it might not look great or be very responsive to my actions, but my god does it feel great to just get thebinfo you need front and center.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 6 months ago:
Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 but not Dark Souls 3. The silver knight farm is brutal and I’d never do it again.
- Comment on Apple Foldable iPhone Launch Faces Delay Until 2026, Faces Design Roadblocks 7 months ago:
I’m the sort of person that takes it out of my pocket and puts it back a lot. It’s not a big deal honestly, it feels good to open and close it.
- Comment on Apple Foldable iPhone Launch Faces Delay Until 2026, Faces Design Roadblocks 7 months ago:
I’ve had my foldable for a couple of years and even after removing the factory screen protection I’ve had 0 scratches on it.
If you are a careful person with your phone, they are fine. If you are the type to crack your screen after a week of use, then they are even more of a headache.
- Comment on Warframe devs report 80% of game crashes happen on Intel's overclockable Core i9 chips — Core i7 K-series CPUs also have high crash rates 7 months ago:
Guess getting the non k version had its perks afterall. Either way I’m going AMD next time I build a machine.
- Comment on ‘Death Occurs in the Dark’: Indie Video Game Devs Are Struggling to Survive 7 months ago:
That’s the best part! Which is why it’s weird the game is bloated with other systems and minigames that pull you away from what shoulb be the core of it: diving.
- Comment on ‘Death Occurs in the Dark’: Indie Video Game Devs Are Struggling to Survive 7 months ago:
It’s a game about diving that halfway through adds a bunch of minigames that make you not need to dive.
